Off-Road Truckers
| Heavy trucks have been banned from some roads in New England—kept off secondary roads to protect the vulnerable road beds during the thaw. It’s a common precaution up north, where trucks are redirected annually to prevent damage, but with temperatures rising earlier than usual this year, trucks in states such as Maine are being sent on detours a bit ahead of schedule. Workers at some companies that ship heavy loads have reversed their schedules, loading up trucks so they can drive through the night, when temperatures are lower. (Robert F.
